My lovely +1 and I will be there and will drag sparkys nephew and niece with us.
Between the four of us we will be bringing an appetizer a dessert and bottle of white wine. (my wife will taste reds but for drinking purposes only drinks whites.)Let me know if there are any other needs.

I may be bringing a special bottle (of Hemlock) for him ... although I may save it for his brother instead.

Wondering if I should bring a Death by Chocolate cake?

Similar to this ...

only better!

(with Nuts or Chocolate bits like above?)

Edit: P.S. Kyle, isn't it time for a Countdown?

And if anyone needs the address PM me.

Mmmm...bruschetta. If you don't mind leaving some in a dish rather than on bread that'd be awesome. Bruschetta matza is, um, delicious

Our plan is still to make a mata lasagne that will satisfy the time2testits and Joel (if he makes it).

Link to pics posted in the old gatherings. And forwarded the pics to RJ.

Actually, zTimBz shared one at the Oct gathering too. Both are good for the Century Club.

RHWMBO is making "matzah roca" which is a very sweet dessert. She was considering making something in addition but not sure yet. Or we could probably also bring cut up fruit if anyone is trying to be a little bit healthy?

Couple of things as we are getting close, I have 20 regular stems and 5 or 10 stemless glasses plus 3 decanters (need to buy another decanter or two in the next wootoff, I think that should be enough?? feel free to bring another decanter if you think we need it.

I will put out a few bottles of Champagne if anyone wants to start with that or for the non red drinkers. I will also say if your humping a case or 3 (Kyle)you might want to get there a little early so you don't have to carry them up a hill, or drop them off in the driveway and then find parking. Let me know if anyone still needs the address.. Looking forward to Saturday!

I can bring a decanter or two and some flutes if you like. A PM refresh of your address would save me searching.

Kyle, I know we're doing Zin's, but feel free to look thru the stuff you have for me to see if there's anything interesting there for this weekend. There may be some oddball bottles good for Century Club counters.

It's not like we wouldn't plan a gathering when you ARE out here.

Slight problem with the vertical. Not sure if I will be able to locate the 2006 (or '06 Reserve). But I will have the '04, '05, '07 to '09 of the Chase Zins.

Anyone else have the Chase '06 Hayne Zin? I don't see anyone listed in CT.

Edit: Just to be on the safe side, I'll also bring a 2006 Turley Hayne Vineyard Zinfandel.

I'll have to look back at past gatherings, because I think we had more wines at previous gatherings in Carlsbad, and I'm pretty sure we had way more in NoVA/DC (#6 IIRC).

Ooooh...exciting! I wonder what it is! I have one of those I'm debating whether to drink tonight or bring tomorrow. But answers will be needed for tomorrow evening. We'll probably just drink it tonight.

Edit: It was like an early Birthday Present, going thru those wines!!! Even found a 2000 Corison Cab.
